Aaaahhhhh........

The weekend has actually arrived. I wish I didn't have so much work to do. We are on our way back from the Genworth charity tennis match. I didn't really care so much for the tennis. I thought it was boring. On our way back to the car I heard someone say my Oak Ridge name. It was one of Teresa's friends from high school. I'm amazed she remembered me. So that was pretty cool. So tomorrow is back to studying for me. Hopefully I can get a lot accomplished. Today I learned that Andre Agassi is pretty funny.

Procrastination

I ran two miles today.  However, I can't seem to get my act together to study for my final exam in a week and a half.  I've started, but my motivation is lagging.  There's also so much "stuff" to do for my job.  I feel really really really bogged down.

 

Today I learned that the flu shot always makes my arm hurt.

The Last Couple of Days

So I said I'd finish up with Thanksgiving.  Friday we went to Nana and Grandpa's house to do clean up.  We got tons taken care of, and we had lunch at Chipotle.  Just before Troy and I headed home, we went to visit Nana at Riderwood.  We were pretty impressed with the place.  I've been to lots of nursing homes, and this one is the best by far.  It didn't even smell like pee!  We left Maryland and headed back home, getting in at nine or so.  Saturday I did school work, and Troy's parents came to visit on Sunday.  They took us Christmas shopping- we got luggage and clothes for the Christmas cruise.

So far this week work has been okay.  I feel better having finished so much for grad school, but things are getting more and more intense with work.  I'm getting new students and I can't put off starting the portfolio assessments much longer.  I went to the neurologist today, and he seemed pleased with the progress in my face.  I guess most people can't tell.  I'm still not back to where I'd like to be, but I can make do with what I've got.

Henry appears to have gotten over his gastrointestinal bug, thank goodness.  That got old really quickly.

Today I learned that if the nerves in your face grow back wrong, you'll tear up while you salivate or twitch your mouth when you blink.  Imagine!
